Thread: Keeping on track

Well i've been lurking round the maintenance part for a while and well i need a kick up the backside now to stop eating stupidly again.

Basically i lost 2 stone and reached my goal weight last November. Between november and march i kept loosing weight even though i was upping what i was eating which was frustrating.

Anyway in march i stopped going along to the weightwatchers meetings because life took over and since then i've now put on almost a stone (i was 6lb below my goal in march). I know i need to cut my eating down again and at least get back to my goal but i just cant seem to find the motivation. I've tried tracking again but i havent time at the moment to go back to meetings which i know would sort me out so yes i need a kick up the backside and if theres anyone out there with any tips for maintaining id love to hear them? Is anyone else having similar problems?

Dont worry hun! I know the feeling..... i feel crap every time i look at my old pictures... even at 14st i was happy... but now at the weight i am i need to kick my ass into gear... i took a before and after picture like most... well the before is coming of course ... Im going to get such great support from here

Thanks Rusticblonde glad im not alone. Im still cant seem to stop myself eating for the sake of it at the moment. Have been trying to control my eating this week and i lost 1/2 lb so i just need to be a bit stricter. Just got to keep positive and know that we can do it

I constantly have the problem of losing motivation too, I was doing really well for two weeks and lost 5lbs, and let myself go these last two days. However, for the two weeks, I kept reminding myself of the reasons that I am trying to lose weight and that it will be worth it in the end. I also try and be more active and hardly stay at home, which ensures that I am not bored and doesn't leave me snacking constantly. I am starting from tomorrow again, and hopefully we'll both lose our desired weight!

I know exactly how it feels when looking at old picture. It's as if I wanted to meet someone who can turn back time in a snap. But that doesn't demotivate me. In fact, it challenges me!
